Property Description

This is it! Your very own oasis in the desert. A one-of-a kind, private compound set on 80 acres of pure serenity known as 'Desert Sanctuary Ranch'. This amazing property boasts over 6800 sqft and a total of 11 structures that include: a main residence (2216 sqft 3br/3ba), 4 guest cottages, dining hall, prayer house, pool house, vintage farmhouse and various storage structures. Upon arrival through the private gate, you're welcomed by a wrought iron entry to the lovely front courtyard of the main residence. An oversized covered front porch brings to mind warm sunny days sitting on a rocking chair with an ice cold glass of lemonade. Relaxing and taking in the quiet desert beauty and endless mountain views that surround you. The main home has been renovated with warm wood look floors throughout, charming tile detail around the cozy fireplace and relaxed rustic feel throughout. Enjoy all the modern day comforts in the renovated kitchen and baths while blending with the original essence of the home.

The kitchen has been updated with warm oak cabinetry, granite countertops w/ center island & stainless steel appliances and at the heart is the vintage fire stove.

Master bedroom is complete with separate sitting/office area and spacious custom closet.

Four guest cottages (Doll House, Saguaro House, Zitko House & the Round House) each have a completely different look and are full their own unique personality! Guest cottages are currently used as Airbnb.

Shared spaces include: a newly re-plastered olympic size swimming pool with a large pool house/game room, outdoor restrooms/showers, huge dining hall for private parties and events, custom designed koi pond and multiple RV, dry camping & picnic sites throughout the property.

Desert Sanctuary Ranch is a unique opportunity to own an amazing property rich in history. From the time is was originally homesteaded by the first Sheriff of Pima County in 1800's & served as a cattle ranch, through it's use in the 1960's as a spiritual retreat and pottery/artist commune by well-known psychologist Timothy Leary, to the headquarters for the World University in the 1970's. Desert Sanctuary Ranch has now been lovingly restored and is unlike anything else you'll see. (see documents tab for more details on property history, structures and improvements)

Come tour this hidden desert gem and envision the endless opportunities!
